Some comets orbit the Sun on a regular basis, but others come in from deep space, a region known as the Oort Cloud. What causes them to make this journey, and will we ever be able to explore the Oort Cloud?

Before I get into this episode, I want to remind everyone that it’s been several decades since I’ve been able to enjoy a bright comet in the night sky. I’ve seen mind blowing auroras, and witnessed a total solar eclipse with my own eyeballs. The Universe needs to deliver this bright comet for me, and it needs to do it soon.
By recording this video now, I will summon it. I will create a video that’ll be hilariously out of date in a few months, when that bright comet shows up.
Like that time we totally discovered a supernova in the VirtualStarParty, by saying there wasn’t a supernova in that galaxy, but there was, and we didn’t get to make the discovery.
Anyway, on to the episode. Let’s talk about comets.
Comets are awesome. They’re made of gas, dust, rock, and organic materials, smashed together, and existing mostly unchanged since the formation of the Solar System4.5 billion years ago. Every now and then, some gravitational interaction kicks a comet into an orbit that brings it closer to the Sun.
Because of the increased radiation, the comet’s volatile gas and dust sublimates off the surface, leaving behind a long tail of ice. And this is how we discover them.
In fact, comets are one of the objects in the night sky regularly found by amateurs. And by discovering a comet, you get to have it named after you. Of course many of the comets are named after robotic observatories, just another way the robots are taking human jobs.

Welcome to our 2014 Review. It was a very interesting year of discoveries.
Text at http://howfarawayisit.com/documents/
The most fascinating news came close to home with the landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Because we never really covered comets and the Oort cloud in our segment on the Solar System, we’ll cover them here.
We’ll update to two stories we’ve been following. One is the G2 gas cloud that survive its passage close to Sag A*, our galaxy’s supermassive black hole – something that’s not possible for a gas cloud. The other is the Gaia project. It has transitioned into its operational life mapping a billion Milky Way stars. We’ll take a look at how it sees the Cat’s Eye Nebula.
Next, we’ll cover some Milky Way objects such as the Monkey Head Nebula, and a very interesting multiple star system called XZ Tauri. In theLocal Group, we find a theory breaking discovery about globular star clusters. We also have news on an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy with an unexpected black hole; a galaxy halo that is unexpectedly large; and a new look at the Ultra Deep Field.

Often referred to as dirty snowballs, Nigel discusses comets, what they are, where they come from, and how they have inspired dread, fear, and awe in many cultures.
Comets always capture the imagination, from Hale-Bopp, the Great Comet of 1997, to Halley's Comet that was probed up close by the Giotto spacecraft in 1986. Currently we have the ESA’s Rosetta mission which managed the first successful landing on a comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
A comet is a small icy Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, heats up and begins to outgas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred metres to tens of kilometres across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles.
Nigel is an internationally acclaimed science populariser and author, specialising in astronomy and space.

Have you ever wondered what makes these cosmic fireworks? Meteor showers are just colorful debris of a passing comet or occasionally , the debris from a fragmented asteroid. When a comet nears the sun, its icy surface heats up. This causes clouds of gas, dirt and dust to be released, forming a tail of debris that can stretch for millions of miles.
As Earth passes near this dusty tail, some of the small dust particles hit our atmosphere. They burn up and create great celestial fireworks for us to enjoy.
NASA generates meteor shower forecasts to prevent potential hazards to spacecraft that are launching and orbiting Earth. NASA also monitors these showers to check the accuracy of the forecasts.

Rocks and Ice in the Solar SystemOur Solar System consists of the Sun, planets, and moons, but it also contains a multitude of smaller chunks of rock and ice. These objects were left over from the time when our Sun and Solar System formed.
So where are all of these small neighbors? Millions of rocky chunks called asteroids orbit in a region between the four rocky inner planets and the four outer gas giant planets. The Dawn mission is currently on its way to investigate Ceres and Vesta, two of the largest asteroids. BeyondNeptune, there is another swarm of objects made mostly of ice and dust. This is the disc-shaped region known as the Kuiper Belt, the origin of many comets. Some comets originate even farther out, from a giant shell of objects near the edge of the Solar System known as the Oort Cloud.

PLASMA COSMOLOGY:- http://www.holoscience.com/wp/twinkle-twinkle-electric-star/
"Almost all the matter in space is in the form of plasma. Clouds of gas and dust contain free charged
particles — ions, electrons and charged dust (molecules). These charged particles respond strongly
to electric and magnetic fields. In cosmic molecular clouds, where stars are formed, just one charged
particle in ten thousand neutral particles is sufficient for electric and magnetic forces to overcome gravity.
Plasma in space is an excellent conductor but it is not a superconductor, as astronomers assume
when they talk of ‘frozen in’ magnetic fields. Plasma clouds that move relative to each other generate
electric currents in each other. Electric currents in plasma take the form of twisted filament pairs,
which follow the ambient magnetic field direction. The filamentary current is electrically insulated from
the surroundings in a way similar to a current in an electric cable located in the ocean and carrying
current through a low resistance metal wire. The magnetic fields generated by these currents have
been detected between and within galaxies. These currents are not visible because the current
density is too low to excite the plasma to emit light: The current is in what plasma physicists calL
“dark current mode.”
Charged bodies embedded in plasma create about themselves a protective cocoon of plasma,
rather like a living cell wall. This cell wall is known as a Langmuir plasma sheath, or ‘double layer,’
which contains most of the voltage difference between the charged body and the surrounding plasma.
Only an electric current sustains the charge separation across the double layer. If the surrounding
plasma is moving relative to the charged body, the plasma sheath is drawn out into a teardrop or
cometary shape. And if the charged body is rotating it will generate a magnetic field that is trapped
inside the plasma sheath. This has led to the misnomer — “magnetosphere” — when referring to
a plasma sheath".

WorldwideHelp Sought For CometStudy Effort
Nov. 22, 2016
Tucson, Ariz. -- Amateur and professional astronomers are invited to provide observations of three comets that will make close approaches to Earth over the next two years.
“We are organizing a worldwide coma morphology campaign for three comets,” said Nalin Samarasinha, SeniorScientist at the Planetary Science Institute, who is leading the project. “Two of these comets will have close approaches to Earth in early 2017 while the third one will come close in late 2018. We want to get both professional and amateur astronomers involved in the campaign.”
The three comets are 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak, 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova, and 46P/Wirtanen. The comets will pass by Earth at distances ranging from 0.08 AU to 0.15 AU. AU or Astronomical Unit is the distance from the Sun to Earth. Such close approaches of three comets within two years are rare and typically occur only once every few decades.
The other organizers of the 4*P ComaMorphologyCampaign are PSI Senior Scientist Beatrice Mueller, University of Maryland scientists Matthew Knight and TonyFarnham, and Walt Harris, a scientist from the University of Arizona.
“For most of the time when an active comet is close to the Earth and easily studied, we expect the comet to have a coma with embedded structures. However, it cannot be continuously monitored from a given location thus we would miss crucial time-dependent phenomena,” Samarasinha said. “An international campaign observing the comet from around the globe would allow better temporal coverage, allowing 24/7 observations of the comet across all longitudes.”
The team is seeking continuum (dust) images as well as gas images with good signal-to-noise.
Visit http://www.psi.edu/41P45P46P for more information on participating in the project.

Solar System

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system comprising the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of those objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets, with the remainder being significantly smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly, the moons, two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.

Crash Course (game show)

Crash Course is an American game show that premiered on ABC on August 26, 2009. It is hosted by Orlando Jones and Dan Cortese. The series has teams of two competing for a golden steering
wheel and $50,000. The series was aimed to try and outbest Wipeout, but failed to beat its audience and has been canceled after three aired episodes (but four were produced).

Premise

Hosted by Orlando Jones and Dan Cortese. Five teams of two are revealed at the beginning (Siblings, Mother-Son, Best Friends, Single Moms, Roommates, Neighbors etc.). The first round has all five teams competing, for example, in car bowling, the team with the lowest amount of pins would be eliminated.

For round two, the four teams would tackle an even more difficult challenge, another example, in Catch Me If You Can, the teams would fight through barrels to get up on a platform. Some cars don't make it and fall upside-down sometimes. The team who doesn't make it up as far or with the slowest time is eliminated.

Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons (or simply Commons) is an online repository of free-use images, sound, and other media files. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Files from Wikimedia Commons can be used across all Wikimedia projects in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage, Wikispecies, Wikisource, and Wikinews, or downloaded for offsite use. The repository contains over 30 million media files. In July 2013, the number of edits on Commons reached 100,000,000.

History

The project was proposed by Erik Möller in March 2004 and launched on September 7, 2004. A key motivation behind the setup of a central repository was the desire to reduce duplication of effort across the Wikimedia projects and languages, as the same file had to be uploaded to many different wikis separately before Commons was created.

Several sister projects (e.g. Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, Basque, Polish, Czech and Slovak Wikipedias) moved all their media content to Commons and stopped allowing local uploading. Some projects, such as the English Wikipedia, have more compliant copyright policy and allow to upload and keep files which are not acceptable at Commons, e.g. fair use images.

NASA (Swedish band)

NASA is a Swedishsynthpop band fronted by Patrik Henzel and Martin Thors. They debuted in 1983 with a song for a Swedish film. In 1985 they had a Swedish top ten hit "Paula". In the 1980s, the band had little success outside of Sweden. A planned US album was recorded, but then shelved by Columbia Records. They continued to have numerous hit singles in their home country of Sweden. They were basically defunct for most of the 1990s, but had a resurgence with the album "Remembering the Future" in 1999.

Great comet

A great comet is a comet that becomes exceptionally bright. There is no official definition; often the term is attached to comets such as Halley's Comet, which are bright enough to be noticed by casual observers who are not actively looking for them, and become well known outside the astronomical community. Great comets are rare; on average, only one will appear in a decade. Although comets are officially named after their discoverers, great comets are sometimes also referred to by the year in which they appeared great, using the formulation "The Great Comet of ...", followed by the year.

Causes

The vast majority of comets are never bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, and generally pass through the inner Solar System unseen by anyone except astronomers. However, occasionally a comet may brighten to naked eye visibility, and even more rarely it may become as bright as or brighter than the brightest stars. The requirements for this to occur are: a large and active nucleus, a close approach to the Sun, and a close approach to the Earth. A comet fulfilling all three of these criteria will certainly be spectacular. Sometimes, a comet failing on one criterion will still be extremely impressive. For example, Comet Hale–Bopp had an exceptionally large and active nucleus, but did not approach the Sun very closely at all, yet it still became an extremely famous and well observed comet. Equally, Comet Hyakutake was a rather small comet, but appeared bright because it passed extremely close to the Earth.

Halley's Comet

Halley's Comet or Comet Halley (/ˈhæli/ or /ˈheɪli/), officially designated 1P/Halley, is a short-period comet visible from Earth every 75–76 years. Halley is the only known short-period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from Earth, and the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime. Halley last appeared in the inner parts of the Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061.

Halley's returns to the inner Solar System have been observed and recorded by astronomers since at least 240 BC. Clear records of the comet's appearances were made by Chinese, Babylonian, and medieval Europeanchroniclers, but were not recognized as reappearances of the same object at the time. The comet's periodicity was first determined in 1705 by English astronomer Edmond Halley, after whom it is now named.

During its 1986 apparition, Halley's Comet became the first comet to be observed in detail by spacecraft, providing the first observational data on the structure of a comet nucleus and the mechanism of coma and tail formation. These observations supported a number of longstanding hypotheses about comet construction, particularly Fred Whipple's "dirty snowball" model, which correctly predicted that Halley would be composed of a mixture of volatile ices – such as water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia – and dust. The missions also provided data that substantially reformed and reconfigured these ideas; for instance, now it is understood that the surface of Halley is largely composed of dusty, non-volatile materials, and that only a small portion of it is icy.

Where Do Comets Come From? Exploring the Oort Cloud

Some comets orbit the Sun on a regular basis, but others come in from deep space, a region known as the Oort Cloud. What causes them to make this journey, and will we ever be able to explore the Oort Cloud?

Tucson, Ariz. -- Amateur and professional astronomers are invited to provide observations of three comets that will make close approaches to Earth over the next two years.
“We are organizing a worldwide coma morphology campaign for three comets,” said Nalin Samarasinha, SeniorScientist at the Planetary Science Institute, who is leading the project. “Two of these comets will have close approaches to Earth in early 2017 while the third one will come close in late 2018. We want to get both professional and amateur astronomers involved in the campaign.”
The three comets are 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak, 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova, and 46P/Wirtanen. The comets will pass by Earth at distances ranging from 0.08 AU to 0.15 AU. AU or Astronomical Unit is the distance from the Sun to Earth. Such close approaches of three comets within two years are rare and typically occur only once every few decades.
The other organizers of the 4*P ComaMorphologyCampaign are PSI Senior Scientist Beatrice Mueller, University of Maryland scientists Matthew Knight and TonyFarnham, and Walt Harris, a scientist from the University of Arizona.
“For most of the time when an active comet is close to the Earth and easily studied, we expect the comet to have a coma with embedded structures. However, it cannot be continuously monitored from a given location thus we would miss crucial time-dependent phenomena,” Samarasinha said. “An international campaign observing the comet from around the globe would allow better temporal coverage, allowing 24/7 observations of the comet across all longitudes.”
The team is seeking continuum (dust) images as well as gas images with good signal-to-noise.
Visit http://www.psi.edu/41P45P46P for more information on participating in the project.

Huge Incoming Comet Spotted by Hubble Beyond Saturn's Orbit

A huge newfound comet has been journeying for millions of years toward the heart of our planetary system.
Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the farthest active inbound comet ever seen, at a whopping distance of 1.5 billion miles from the Sun (beyond Saturn's orbit).
Slightly warmed by the remote Sun, it has already begun to develop an 80,000-mile-wide fuzzy cloud of dust, called a coma, enveloping a solid nucleus of frozen gas and dust. These observations represent the earliest signs of activity ever seen from a comet entering the solar system's planetary zone for the first time.
The comet, called C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) or "K2", has been travelling for millions of years from its home in the frigid outer reaches of the solar system, where the temperature is about minus 440 degrees Fahrenheit. The comet's orbit indicates that it came from the Oort Cloud, a spherical region almost a light-year in diameter and thought to contain hundreds of billions of comets.
K2 was discovered in May 2017 by the PanoramicSurveyTelescope and Rapid ResponseSystem (Pan-STARRS) in Hawaii, a survey project of NASA's Near-Earth ObjectObservationsProgram. Astronomers used Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 at the end of June to take a closer look at the icy visitor.
Hubble's sharp "eye" revealed the extent of the coma and also helped Jewitt estimate the size of the nucleus — less than 12 miles across — though the tenuous coma is 10 Earth diameters across.
This vast coma must have formed when the comet was even farther away from the Sun. K2 had a coma already at 2 billion miles from the Sun, when it was between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. It was already active and it has been continuously active coming in. As it approaches the Sun, it's getting warmer and warmer, and the activity is ramping up according to researchers.
Astronomers will have plenty of time to conduct detailed studies of K2. For the next five years, the comet will continue its journey into the inner solar system before it reaches its closest approach to the Sun in 2022 just beyond Mars' orbit.

How Far Away Is It - 2014 Review - Comets & Oort Cloud (1080p)

Welcome to our 2014 Review. It was a very interesting year of discoveries.

The most fascinating news came close to home with the landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Because we never really covered comets and the Oort cloud in our segment on the Solar System, we’ll cover them here.
We’ll update to two stories we’ve been following. One is the G2 gas cloud that survive its passage close to Sag A*, our galaxy’s supermassive black hole – something that’s not possible for a gas cloud. The other is the Gaia project. It has transitioned into its operational life mapping a billion Milky Way stars. We’ll take a look at how it sees the Cat’s Eye Nebula.

The Oort Cloud: Crash Course Astronomy #22

Now that we’re done with the planets, asteroid belt, and comets, we’re heading to the outskirts of the solar system. Out past Neptune are vast reservoirs of icy bodies that can become comets if they get poked into the inner solar system. The Kuiper Belt is a donut shape aligned with the plane of the solar system; the scattered disk is more eccentric and is the source of short period comets; and the Oort Cloud which surrounds the solar system out to great distances is the source of long-period comets. These bodies all probably formed closer into the Sun, and got flung out to the solar system’s suburbs by gravitational interactions with the outer planets.

Comets: Crash Course Astronomy #21

Today on Crash CourseAstronomy, Phil explains comets. Comets are chunks of ice and rock that orbit the Sun. When they get near the Sun the ice turns into gas, forming the long tail, and also releases dust that forms a different tail. We’ve visited comets up close and found them to be lumpy, with vents in the surface that release the gas as ice sublimates. Eons ago, comets (and asteroids) may have brought a lot of water to Earth -- as well as the ingredients for life.

Before I get into this episode, I want to remind everyone that it’s been several decades since I’ve been able to enjoy a bright comet in the night sky. I’ve seen mind blowing auroras, and witnessed a total solar eclipse with my own eyeballs. The Universe needs to deliver this bright comet for me, and it needs to do it soon.
By recording this video now, I will summon it. I will create a video that’ll be hilariously out of date in a few months, when that bright comet shows up.
Like that time we totally discovered a supernova in the VirtualStarParty, by saying there wasn’t a supernova in that galaxy, but there was, and we didn’t get to make the discovery.
Anyway, on to the episode. Let’s talk about comets.
Comets are awesome. They’re made of gas, dust, rock, and organic materials, smashed together, and existing mostly unchanged since the formation of the Solar System4.5 billion years ago. Every now and then, some gravitational interaction kicks a comet into an orbit that brings it closer to the Sun.
Because of the increased radiation, the comet’s volatile gas and dust sublimates off the surface, leaving behind a long tail of ice. And this is how we discover them.
In fact, comets are one of the objects in the night sky regularly found by amateurs. And by discovering a comet, you get to have it named after you. Of course many of the comets are named after robotic observatories, just another way the robots are taking human jobs.

Rocks and Ice in the Solar SystemOur Solar System consists of the Sun, planets, and moons, but it also contains a multitude of smaller chunks of rock and ice. These objects were left over from the time when our Sun and Solar System formed.
So where are all of these small neighbors? Millions of rocky chunks called asteroids orbit in a region between the four rocky inner planets and the four outer gas giant planets. The Dawn mission is currently on its way to investigate Ceres and Vesta, two of the largest asteroids. BeyondNeptune, there is another swarm of objects made mostly of ice and dust. This is the disc-shaped region known as the Kuiper Belt, the origin of many comets. Some comets originate even farther out, from a giant shell of objects near the edge of the Solar System known as the Oort Cloud.

PLASMA COSMOLOGY:- http://www.holoscience.com/wp/twinkle-twinkle-electric-star/
"Almost all the matter in space is in the form of plasma. Clouds of gas and dust contain free charged
particles — ions, electrons and charged dust (molecules). These charged particles respond strongly
to electric and magnetic fields. In cosmic molecular clouds, where stars are formed, just one charged
particle in ten thousand neutral particles is sufficient for electric and magnetic forces to overcome gravity.
Plasma in space is an excellent conductor but it is not a superconductor, as astronomers assume
when they talk of ‘frozen in’ magnetic fields. Plasma clouds that move relative to each other generate
electric currents in each other. Electric currents in plasma take the form of twisted filament pairs,
which follow the ambient magnetic field direction. The filamentary current is electrically insulated from
the surroundings in a way similar to a current in an electric cable located in the ocean and carrying
current through a low resistance metal wire. The magnetic fields generated by these currents have
been detected between and within galaxies. These currents are not visible because the current
density is too low to excite the plasma to emit light: The current is in what plasma physicists calL
“dark current mode.”
Charged bodies embedded in plasma create about themselves a protective cocoon of plasma,
rather like a living cell wall. This cell wall is known as a Langmuir plasma sheath, or ‘double layer,’
which contains most of the voltage difference between the charged body and the surrounding plasma.
Only an electric current sustains the charge separation across the double layer. If the surrounding
plasma is moving relative to the charged body, the plasma sheath is drawn out into a teardrop or
cometary shape. And if the charged body is rotating it will generate a magnetic field that is trapped
inside the plasma sheath. This has led to the misnomer — “magnetosphere” — when referring to
a plasma sheath".

plasma is moving relative to the charged body, the plasma sheath is drawn out into a teardrop or

inside the plasma sheath. This has led to the misnomer — “magnetosphere” — when referring to
a plasma sheath".

Hey. Guess what? We've got 2 potentially hazardous objects that will be making close approaches to Earth in 2017 and 2018.
The three comets are 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak, 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova, and 46P/Wirtanen. The comets will pass by Earth at distances ranging from 0.08 AU to 0.15 AU.
That's close.

WorldwideHelp Sought For CometStudy Effort
Nov. 22, 2016
Tucson, Ariz. -- Amateur and professional astronomers are invited to provide observations of three comets that will make close approaches to Earth over the next two years.
“We are organizing a worldwide coma morphology campaign for three comets,” said Nalin Samarasinha, SeniorScientist at the Planetary Science Institute, who is leading the project. “Two of these comets will have close approaches to Earth in early 2017 while the third one will come close in late 2018. We want to get both professional and amateur astronomers involved in the campaign.”
The three comets are 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak, 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova, and 46P/Wirtanen. The comets will pass by Earth at distances ranging from 0.08 AU to 0.15 AU. AU or Astronomical Unit is the distance from the Sun to Earth. Such close approaches of three comets within two years are rare and typically occur only once every few decades.
The other organizers of the 4*P ComaMorphologyCampaign are PSI Senior Scientist Beatrice Mueller, University of Maryland scientists Matthew Knight and TonyFarnham, and Walt Harris, a scientist from the University of Arizona.
“For most of the time when an active comet is close to the Earth and easily studied, we expect the comet to have a coma with embedded structures. However, it cannot be continuously monitored from a given location thus we would miss crucial time-dependent phenomena,” Samarasinha said. “An international campaign observing the comet from around the globe would allow better temporal coverage, allowing 24/7 observations of the comet across all longitudes.”
The team is seeking continuum (dust) images as well as gas images with good signal-to-noise.

A huge newfound comet has been journeying for millions of years toward the heart of our planetary system.
Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the farthest active inbound comet ever seen, at a whopping distance of 1.5 billion miles from the Sun (beyond Saturn's orbit).
Slightly warmed by the remote Sun, it has already begun to develop an 80,000-mile-wide fuzzy cloud of dust, called a coma, enveloping a solid nucleus of frozen gas and dust. These observations represent the earliest signs of activity ever seen from a comet entering the solar system's planetary zone for the first time.
The comet, called C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) or "K2", has been travelling for millions of years from its home in the frigid outer reaches of the solar system, where the temperature is about minus 440 degrees Fahrenheit. The comet's orbit indicates that it came from the Oort Cloud, a spherical region almost a light-year in diameter and thought to contain hundreds of billions of comets.
K2 was discovered in May 2017 by the PanoramicSurveyTelescope and Rapid ResponseSystem (Pan-STARRS) in Hawaii, a survey project of NASA's Near-Earth ObjectObservationsProgram. Astronomers used Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 at the end of June to take a closer look at the icy visitor.
Hubble's sharp "eye" revealed the extent of the coma and also helped Jewitt estimate the size of the nucleus — less than 12 miles across — though the tenuous coma is 10 Earth diameters across.
This vast coma must have formed when the comet was even farther away from the Sun. K2 had a coma already at 2 billion miles from the Sun, when it was between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. It was already active and it has been continuously active coming in. As it approaches the Sun, it's getting warmer and warmer, and the activity is ramping up according to researchers.
Astronomers will have plenty of time to conduct detailed studies of K2. For the next five years, the comet will continue its journey into the inner solar system before it reaches its closest approach to the Sun in 2022 just beyond Mars' orbit.

Where Do Comets Come From? Exploring the Oort Cloud

Some comets orbit the Sun on a regular basis, but others come in from deep space, a region known as the Oort Cloud. What causes them to make this journey, and will we ever be able to explore the Oort Cloud?

Before I get into this episode, I want to remind everyone that it’s been several decades since I’ve been able to enjoy a bright comet in the night sky. I’ve seen mind blowing auroras, and witnessed a total solar eclipse with my own eyeballs. The Universe needs to deliver this bright comet for me, and it needs to do it soon.
By recording this video now, I will summon it. I will create a video that’ll be hilariously out of date in a few months, when that bright comet shows up.
Like that time we totally discovered a supernova in the VirtualStarParty, by saying there wasn’t a supernova in that galaxy, but there was, and we didn’t get to make the discovery.
Anyway, on to the episode. Let’s talk about comets.
Comets are awesome. They’re made of gas, dust, rock, and organic materials, smashed together, and existing mostly unchanged since the formation of the Solar System4.5 billion years ago. Every now and then, some gravitational interaction kicks a comet into an orbit that brings it closer to the Sun.
Because of the increased radiation, the comet’s volatile gas and dust sublimates off the surface, leaving behind a long tail of ice. And this is how we discover them.
In fact, comets are one of the objects in the night sky regularly found by amateurs. And by discovering a comet, you get to have it named after you. Of course many of the comets are named after robotic observatories, just another way the robots are taking human jobs.

How Far Away Is It - 2014 Review - Comets & Oort Cloud (1080p)

Welcome to our 2014 Review. It was a very interesting year of discoveries.
Text at http://howfarawayisit.com/documents/
The most fascinating news came close to home with the landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Because we never really covered comets and the Oort cloud in our segment on the Solar System, we’ll cover them here.
We’ll update to two stories we’ve been following. One is the G2 gas cloud that survive its passage close to Sag A*, our galaxy’s supermassive black hole – something that’s not possible for a gas cloud. The other is the Gaia project. It has transitioned into its operational life mapping a billion Milky Way stars. We’ll take a look at how it sees the Cat’s Eye Nebula.
Next, we’ll cover some Milky Way objects such as the Monkey Head Nebula, and a very interesting multiple star system called XZ Tauri. In theLocal Group, we find a theory breaking discovery about globular star clusters. We also have news on an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy with an unexpected black hole; a galaxy halo that is unexpectedly large; and a new look at the Ultra Deep Field.

Often referred to as dirty snowballs, Nigel discusses comets, what they are, where they come from, and how they have inspired dread, fear, and awe in many cultures.
Comets always capture the imagination, from Hale-Bopp, the Great Comet of 1997, to Halley's Comet that was probed up close by the Giotto spacecraft in 1986. Currently we have the ESA’s Rosetta mission which managed the first successful landing on a comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
A comet is a small icy Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, heats up and begins to outgas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred metres to tens of kilometres across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles.
Nigel is an internationally acclaimed science populariser and author, specialising in astronomy and space.

Have you ever wondered what makes these cosmic fireworks? Meteor showers are just colorful debris of a passing comet or occasionally , the debris from a fragmented asteroid. When a comet nears the sun, its icy surface heats up. This causes clouds of gas, dirt and dust to be released, forming a tail of debris that can stretch for millions of miles.
As Earth passes near this dusty tail, some of the small dust particles hit our atmosphere. They burn up and create great celestial fireworks for us to enjoy.
NASA generates meteor shower forecasts to prevent potential hazards to spacecraft that are launching and orbiting Earth. NASA also monitors these showers to check the accuracy of the forecasts.

Rocks and Ice in the Solar SystemOur Solar System consists of the Sun, planets, and moons, but it also contains a multitude of smaller chunks of rock and ice. These objects were left over from the time when our Sun and Solar System formed.
So where are all of these small neighbors? Millions of rocky chunks called asteroids orbit in a region between the four rocky inner planets and the four outer gas giant planets. The Dawn mission is currently on its way to investigate Ceres and Vesta, two of the largest asteroids. BeyondNeptune, there is another swarm of objects made mostly of ice and dust. This is the disc-shaped region known as the Kuiper Belt, the origin of many comets. Some comets originate even farther out, from a giant shell of objects near the edge of the Solar System known as the Oort Cloud.

PLASMA COSMOLOGY:- http://www.holoscience.com/wp/twinkle-twinkle-electric-star/
"Almost all the matter in space is in the form of plasma. Clouds of gas and dust contain free charged
particles — ions, electrons and charged dust (molecules). These charged particles respond strongly
to electric and magnetic fields. In cosmic molecular clouds, where stars are formed, just one charged
particle in ten thousand neutral particles is sufficient for electric and magnetic forces to overcome gravity.
Plasma in space is an excellent conductor but it is not a superconductor, as astronomers assume
when they talk of ‘frozen in’ magnetic fields. Plasma clouds that move relative to each other generate
electric currents in each other. Electric currents in plasma take the form of twisted filament pairs,
which follow the ambient magnetic field direction. The filamentary current is electrically insulated from
the surroundings in a way similar to a current in an electric cable located in the ocean and carrying
current through a low resistance metal wire. The magnetic fields generated by these currents have
been detected between and within galaxies. These currents are not visible because the current

Huge Incoming Comet Spotted by Hubble Beyond Saturn's Orbit

A huge newfound comet has been journeying for millions of years toward the heart of our planetary system.
Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the farthest active inbound comet ever seen, at a whopping distance of 1.5 billion miles from the Sun (beyond Saturn's orbit).
Slightly warmed by the remote Sun, it has already begun to develop an 80,000-mile-wide fuzzy cloud of dust, called a coma, enveloping a solid nucleus of frozen gas and dust. These observations represent the earliest signs of activity ever seen from a comet entering the solar system's planetary zone for the first time.
The comet, called C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) or "K2", has been travelling for millions of years from its home in the frigid outer reaches of the solar system, where the temperature is about minus 440 degrees Fahrenheit. The comet's orbit indicates that it came from the Oort Cloud, a spherical region almost a light-year in diameter and thought to contain hundreds of billions of comets.

Solar System

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system comprising the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of those objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets, with the remainder being significantly smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly, the moons, two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.
